Sikadur®-41 SG

Epoxy resin

24 months from date of production

Store in original, unopened, sealed and undamaged packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C. Protect from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.

~1.86 kg/l (component A + B + C mixed) (+21 °C)

Hardens without shrinkage

Component A : B : C = 2 : 1 : 3 by weight
 

60 millimetre maximum.
When using multiple units, use one after the other. Do not mix the following unit until the previous one has been used in order to avoid a reduction in handling time.

Sikadur®-41 SG must be applied at temperatures between +25 °C and +45 °C

+25 °C min. / +45 °C max.

Beware of condensation.
Substrate temperature during application must be at least 3 °C above dew point.

+25 °C min. / +45 °C max.

Substrate must be dry or mat damp (no standing water)
Brush the adhesive well into the substrate

*200 g
The potlife begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at high temperatures and longer at low temperatures. The greater the quantity mixed, the shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at high temperatures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into portions. Another method is to chill components A, B and C before mixing them (not below +5 °C).

The consumption of Sikadur®-41 SG is approximately 1.9 kg/m² per mm of thickness. This figure is theoretical and does not include for any additional material required due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level and wastage etc..

Mortar and concrete must be older than 28 days (depends on minimal requirement of strengths).
Verify the substrate strength (concrete, masonry, natural stone).
The substrate surface (all types) must be clean, dry or mat damp (no standing water) and free from contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, existing surface treatments and coatings etc.
Steel substrates must be de-rusted similar to Sa 2.5.

The substrate must be sound and all loose particles must be removed

Concrete, mortar, stone, bricks: substrates must be sound, dry or mat damp (no standing water), rough, clean and free from laitance, ice, grease, oils, old surface treatments or coatings and all loose or friable particles must be removed to achieve a laitance and contaminant free, open textured surface.
Steel: must be cleaned and prepared thoroughly to an acceptable quality that is by blast-cleaning and vacuum.
Avoid dew point conditions.

Pre-batched units:
Mix components A and B together for at least 3 minutes with a mixing spindle attached to a slow speed electric drill (maximum 300 rpm) until the material becomes smooth in consistency and a uniform grey colour. Then add component C and continue until mixture is homogeneous. Avoid aeration while mixing.
Then, pour the whole mix into a clean container and stir again for approximately 1 more minute at low speed to keep air entrapment at a minimum. Mix only that quantity which can be used within its pot life.

Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Colma Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be mechanically removed.
